I am trying to teach myself good habits before instilling bad ones. Your videos are my go-to! Thank you!

Your KZread helped me troubleshoot a problem I was having with my bobbin winder. The bobbin was stationary and the machine spindle was turning without moving the bobbin. I did as you said - took a screw driver and ever so gently pried them apart and IT WORKED ! KUDOS to you and thanks for mentioning that in your KZread ! I’m in business ! It was the first tie I’d used it ! Thanks so much !

Excellent explanations and demonstration.

Your video is THE MOST helpful by far ! LOVE the troubleshooting you included. It saved me a LOT of aggravation ! Thank you SO much !

I was having a problem with winding Glide bobbins: the thread constantly popped out of the tension disks. So I wound the thread once around the loop of the thread mast (just a bit of extra tension) and then adjusted both the guide loop position and the main tension - and wound at #2 speed - slower, but it worked much better. With the auto shut off, I can set it up, clip the thread end, and then walk away and let the bobbin winder do its job. Worked great.

I have been having the same issue and it drives me crazy! I have just been putting my finger to the left of the tension disk, and it keeps it tight enough to keep it from wiggling out.

@@angeculler so glad people comment on here even years after the fact, as I have been having same issue and didn't realize I was also using glide thread and tried the trick and hope it keeps working. Was ready to go into dealer and it now saved me a trip. Love these help videos!

Can i use prewound bobbins in my Simply Sixteen?

I set the tension on my sweet 16 higher for a fine thread, but when you wind the bobbin, your saying set the tension on the winder lower for a fine thread. I'm having trouble winding Bottom line.

Very informative video. Can this winder work with 950yrd (Aprox 1.5" wide) or smaller 50yrd (Aprox 1.25" wide) size spools?

I have trouble with the thread jumping out of the tension disc no matter how slow I go. Any suggestions?

You can try winding the thread an extra turn around the tension disc. Or put it through the tension disc counter clockwise instead of clockwise.

When I try to place the bobbin on the winder the thread breaks every time. How can I prevent this?

Don't hold the thread very tight while it starts winding. That usually helps.

Ruth, if you wind a bobbin and the thread has been stretched by having the tension too tight it can the center post to colapse and make the sides of the bobbin warp so they are no longer flat. When this happens the bobbin will not work properly in the bobbin case and so you will need to replace it.

Thank you so much for this destroy all I really need to learn how to use my bobbin winder properly❣️✂️🧵🪡
